Actually, *minimal* code is what we want to see. Just enough to see the
problem; usually, this is <50 lines.

Where are these template member functions implemented? Directly in the header?
Or in a separate (.cpp) file?

If the latter, that is the problem. Templates can't currently be separately
compiled, unless you use one of very few compilers that support it. No
Borland compiler is among these.
